Suggest Treatment For Severe Pinching Pain In The Lower Spine Area
I have had back pain now for 3 years and recently felt this pinching pain on my lower spine. I got an MRI done and they said a lot of inflammation between the discs on the Lumbar spine but they couldnt do anything to help. This recent pain doesnt allow me to bend over,twist,turn,or anything other then stay completley straight and even then it sometimes pinches. What is the reason this is happening and how can I stop it?

Hello,
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan to rule out spine related problems like a prolapsed disc or nerve compression.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
